can you eat the fruit of a cactus plant ?

Question

i´m in spain and some plant bear fruit.

Answer 1

Yes you can, I have never taste it, but I heard it tastes good except it may leave you constipated for a few days if you don't drink enough water.

Answer 2

Yes, but by all means, take the prickly skin off first. The fruit is sweet and has a lot of seeds inside, but it makes for a refreshing snack, I like it a little cold. I know them as Tunas, but Spain may call them something different.

Answer 3

Native Israelis are called sabres (cactus plants) cos like the cactus fruit their hard on the outside and soft on the inside ,and for sure you can eat them fruits.......

Yes, especially the fruit of prickly pear cactus.

Answer 5

Of coarse! I eat it all the time! I do prefer the cactus plant to the flower though = Z...
